Description: Here are all four full-length novels and fifty-six short stories about the colorful adventures of Sherlock Holmes— every word Conan Doyle ever wrote about Baker Street's most famous resi- dent. So devoted and numerous are the followers of the immortal Holmes ... so timeless are his colorful adventures that this shrewd and lovable amateur detective whom Doyle invented when he was a young doctor is the most pop- ular character in the last one hundred years of fiction.

As a lasting tribute to the indestruc- tible detective, whose earliest adven- tures first appeared in print in 1887, and to his famous creator, Holmes's en- tire career has been brought together between the covers of this handsome volume. It is the definitive, authorita- tive Sherlock Holmes text as originally published in nine separate books.

Also included is a delightful preface, "In Memoriam Sherlock Holmes, " written by Christopher Morley, the distinguished author and founder of The Baker Street Irregulars.
